Executive Director Chris Giannopoulos said now that the fixture has been finalised, Crocmedia would be keen to work with other radio stations around the country about becoming broadcasters of Hyundai A-League, Westfield W-League and/or FFA Cup matches.
“We congratulate the FFA on the release of the 2018/2019 Hyundai A-League with an exciting schedule outlined for both fans and broadcasters,” Giannopoulos said.
“The phenomenal success and momentum from the World Cup in Russia with Australia once again participating on the world stage is a great platform for the year ahead. Interest in the world game has been at an all time high over the past month and provides great impetus to capitalise on the summer ahead for the Hyundai A-League.”
